The iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak is not the first achievement of Pangu Team as they are also credited with being the first ones to jailbreak iOS 8. When you restore or update your device in iTunes, you will automatically get iOS 8.4.1, but now you do not have the option to manually select your iOS 8.4 firmware, as iTunes will not recognize it as a current firmware. For the time being, you MUST stay at iOS 8.4 if you want to keep your jailbreak. Instead, the team seems to be considering the possibilities of jailbreaking Apple’s next iOS iteration. And guess which team it is? However, this might be about to change as iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak has been teased at the recently held HackPwn2015!

All the details regarding the jailbreak were posted on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging site. Team Pangu! So there are hardly anyu English reports of this jailbreak. According to press release, updates patch up improvement in Apple Music and fixes bug issue. It is really a wise move to not waste exploits on an iOS version that will be history in a few weeks.
If you have manged to restore the iOS 8.4 before Apple stopped signing, do not upgrade to iOS 8.4.1 or later.
